I recently joined Susan on her podcast, Everyday Epigenetics: Raw. Real.

Relatable., and our conversation was an exploration of what it means to come back into relationship with our bodies after long periods of stress, coping, and pushing through.

We talk about:
• the body as our first language—and how many of us learn to override it
• what stress looks like when it doesn’t get to complete
• why some nervous systems stay on high alert while others go quiet or numb
• how healing can look like shaking, crying, breathing, and allowing sensation to move
• and why nature is more than a “nice idea”—it’s a real, physiological support for regulation

If you’ve found yourself thinking:
“I don’t even know what I’m feeling.”
“I can’t seem to relax.”
“I’m just trying to get through the day.”

This conversation is an invitation to soften the effort and listen a little more closely to what your body has been communicating all along.

🎧 You can listen to the episode now, and I’d love to hear what resonated for you.

So many of us move through our days nourished by tasks, obligations, and momentum—yet still feel something quietly unmet.

Feed Your Soul is a weekly invitation to pause and listen beneath the surface.

Through guided reflection, journaling, and connection with the more-than-human world, we tend the places that don’t often get time or words.

You don’t need to be a writer.

You don’t need to know what will emerge.

Just a willingness to sit with what’s alive.

🗓 February 7 – March 21, 2026
⏰ Saturdays, 10 am–12 pm MST
📍 Online via Zoom

🌟 ADHD: Work With Your Brain, Not Against It 🌟

If your mind moves faster than the world around you, you’re not alone. ADHD isn’t just about challenges—it’s also about strengths. Instead of seeing it as a deficit, what if you embraced its gifts? Creativity, deep thinking, and hyperfocus are powerful—when managed with the right tools.

Try these simple strategies this week:
✨ Externalize Your Memory – Use lists, reminders, and alarms to stay on track.
🌿 Move Your Body – Physical activity boosts focus and energy.
💡 Reframe "Distractions" – Ask: What’s pulling my attention? It may reveal hidden priorities.

ADHD holds immense potential—when you learn to harness it. Join our eight-week online coaching program starting January 25 to explore practical strategies.

On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we pause with humility and care.

The call to “be the change you want to see in the world” lives alongside the reality that many in our world are still facing deep injustice, violence, displacement, and inequity. Holding this truth asks more of us than inspiration alone—it asks for presence, listening, and responsibility.

Change does not begin in abstraction. It begins in how we tend to our own hearts and nervous systems, how we show up in relationships, how we refuse to look away from suffering, and how we stay committed to dignity, compassion, and justice even when it is uncomfortable.

Today, we honor Dr. King not only through words, but by recommitting to the ongoing, courageous work of care—for one another, for our communities, and for the future we are shaping together.

May we continue to choose love with clarity, and action with conscience.
